Holmes and Watson (film): As bad as you've heard@gooddream2544d
I had read that this movie was a disaster and also things like there were no advanced screenings for critics allowed and other tricks that kind of indicate that the producers were also very aware that this movie was a turd.
I don't need to explain what this movie is about because everyone on the planet is familiar with Sherlock Holmes. It was always going to be slapstick and juvenile because that is what Will Ferrell does for the most part. Normally I feel that the combination of Will and his buddy John C. Reilly.
I really like the combination of Will and John as Stepbrothers and Talladega Nights are two of my favorite comedies of recent times. That doesn't change the fact that almost everything about this movie is just plain awful: There is very little in this film that is remotely funny, the way that they interject political leanings into the skits is just dumb, both Will and John have terrible and over-the-top British accents, and they turned both Watson and Holmes into morons who accidentally do something right every now and then. It's just stupid and it simply didn't work.
The fact that they present the Queen in a negative and bumbling light was kind of uncalled for as well. I don't know what they were thinking when they greenlit this film. It has been nominated for a bunch of Razzies (awards you don't want) and while the films cost $42 million to make it managed to make 41.9 million at the box office - and no, I am not making that up.
A terrible movie that doesn't even have the ability to be classified as "so bad it's good," Holmes and Watson is actually irritating to behold and it is a real shame that I can say that about 2 of my favorite comedians. Every dog has it's day, I suppose.
On a scale of "Urgh!" to "Wowsers!" I begrudgingly award Holmes and Watson an unfortunately well-deserved overall score of....
Based on the time I had available for a movie yesterday, my choice was between Holmes and Watson and Spiderman. I whiffed on my choice, opting for Holmes and Watson merely because it started a bit earlier. I found one redeeming quality in this film that managed to make some of my favorite actors look like buffoons. Not contextually, either. Buffoons for agreeing to do this film. I am really looking forward to the film about Stan and Ollie, which stars John C. Reilly (who plays Watson in this film) as the portly Ollie. Interestingly, Steve Coogan, who plays Stan in the upcoming film is also in this loser.
Sherlock Holmes (Will Farrell) is a loner child whose only friend in school is the janitor's son, Watson. After getting his entire class expelled, Holmes receives personal attention from his teachers, making him the smartest, most intuitive person to ever walk the planet. So we are led to believe. In his pursuit of Moriarty (Ralph Fiennes), Holmes and Watson must solve a mystery and save the Queen. They are aided in their endeavor by a pair of American women, Dr. Grace Hart (Rebecca Hall) and Millie (Lauren Lapkus). Together, they must solve the mystery of a Moriarty imposter and save the legend of Sherlock Holmes.
Holmes and Watson is pure tripe. The foundation of this film, the screenplay, was the product of Director Etan Cohen who has written a few other mediocre films (Idiocracy, Men in Black 3 and Tropic Thunder). The latter being the only one of those films I enjoyed. One of the issues that plagued this film seemed to be Cohen's incoherent and deranged preoccupation with Donald Trump. It created an incessant anachronistic thread that ran throughout the film. The film had plenty of other anachronisms, borrowing ideas from modern pop culture like pay-per-view and selfies. But the Trump gags were not only not funny, they were awkward and contrived. The story itself was incoherent as well. It bounced around, trying to outwit itself. In the process, it came across as a muddled mess that was only moderately funny. The only part of this film that mildly amused me was a Broadway sequence that was surprisingly well executed in a film that was otherwise tepid, at best.
Will Farrell is a funny guy. His sophomoric humor gets on my nerves at times, but he has done some films that have been exceptional. I liked the Daddy's Home films. I think Farrell has better name recognition, but John C. Reilly is a much better actor with range that extends beyond just comedy. An example of a great film he did in a serious role is We Need To Talk About Kevin. He was a bright spot in this film, just with his presence. Rebecca Hall also has that affect on me. She is a great actress. I recall her being the bright spot in another film that was mediocre, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women. I am inclined to see any film Ralph Fiennes is in. He was underutilized in this film, but would not have been able to do much to save it. This film was an incredible waste of talent. It's shameful.
Holmes and Watson eked out a PG-13 rating from the MPAA. It's a good thing, since the sophomoric humor is not likely to appeal to older audiences. The film is replete with crude humor, sexual references, countless references to drug use, a bit of violence and adult themes. There is almost a preoccupation with heroin, cocaine and masturbation. While those are attempts to incorporate some ideas from the era, they fall flat in an otherwise anachronistic film. I am not going to put an age rating on this film. It is not for children. But, in my humble opinion, it is not for adults either. This is going to be a rare film that I rate below five of ten. I usually find redeeming qualities in a film enough to get them to an even five, but this muddled mess just doesn't deserve it.
My quick recap on this film: Don't waste your time. Don't waste your money. In my case, I saw the film for free, using my A-List subscription. However, I can never get that hour and a half of my life back. This film is a waste of time, money and celluloid (or digital media as the case may be). It is a shame that the talent in this film was wasted on such a ridiculous, ill-conceived story. Utter nonsense. 4/10.

In 1986, there was a great, underappreciated comedy, about the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, called Without a Clue, starring Michael Caine, as a bumbling Holmes, and Ben Kingsley, as Dr. Watson, the real detective. It was funny and kind of charming.
This comedy stars Will Ferrell as Holmes and John C. Reilly as Watson and makes both of them bumbling. I couldn't tell if they were two "fish out of water" types in a straight-laced society or if everyone was silly and I can't decide if this is going to be good or not. Ferrell and Reilly are very hit and miss with me.
